Stephanie Richards is a single parent juggling her life to bring up her fouryear-old daughter, hold down a full-time job as head waitress at the family restaurant -- and finalise her divorce from her violent, unscrupulous husband.

Both wish their lives had taken other directions, other turnings, aware that they are missing something -- or someone -- special. Their love seems destined to endure, but what will happen when the real world returns to intrude on their few snatched days of paradise ...?

From Booklist
Single parent Stephanie Richards works hard raising her four-year-old daughter, waitressing in the family restaurant, and trying to divorce her unfaithful, abusive estranged husband. Her life in Montauk has been rough, and only the support of her beloved grandmother has made it tolerable. While strolling on the beach before work one morning, Stephanie meets Paul Hamilton, a stressed-out businessman on a forced holiday. As Stephanie and Paul share morning coffee and confidences, they discover that they are kindred souls, and their passion transcends ties to family, friends, and spouses. However, there is one person endangered by their love, the only person Stephanie adores more than Paul--her daughter. As Stephanie's husband makes a custody bid for their child, Stephanie must choose a new direction for her life, and best-selling Ellis wraps up yet another contemporary tale sure to please her fans.
